First Look : Daniel Lewis As President Lincoln In Spielberg’s Next

The first official image of Academy award winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis as President Abraham Lincoln from director Steven Spielberg’s upcoming biopic ‘Lincoln’ has been released. Lewis striking resemblance with the 16th President of the United States is absolutely mind boggling.

In an interview with the Entertainment Weekly Spielberg said “Lincoln’s realization that the Emancipation Proclamation, the thing he is most known for, was simply a war powers act that would easily be struck down by any number of lawyers after the cessation of hostilities after the Civil War.”

‘Lincoln’ is being dubbed as Spielberg’s comeback vehicle and this fact alone makes the movie one of the most eagerly awaited movies in the world today.
